Dead man gets phone bill - sent to cemetery |
A man who died in 1997 has received a telephone bill at the cemetery where he is buried.
The cemetery received the bill for David Towles at Hillside Cemetery, Evergreen Section, Auburn, Massachusetts, United States.Mr Towles was buried there in December 1997. He died aged 60.
Cemetery Superintendent Wayne Bloomquist says he was surprised to see the bill from the telephone company Sprint for 12 cents, including 10 cents for a call on February 16, five years after Mr Towles died."Our clients here don't usually get mail," he said. "I wondered if maybe we should start putting mailboxes on the monuments."
A call to Sprint's automated service on March 6 showed charges on the unpaid account had increased the bill to $3.95.
